i said goodbye
just as easy as hello,
not knowing the terror that went on.
i was sent to the trenches
right after the rain
knee deep in the mud
i went down in shame.

the ground starts to shake
my heart starts to tremble
the tanks start inclosing
the guns raise
standing row by row
and behind the sun glows




the field quite
the men panting
waiting for the command,
Fire



they rush toward each other
they aim their guns
they take a breath
they release the trigger
they pray for ones death
and hope theirs isn't next
